Sich
The attack on our center
Yesterday the 9th of April, our headquarters was sieged and an attack from the police was planned. Orders from the criminal Avakov where to shoot if resistance was shown, but the police in charge refused to follow that order.
I saw the police while walking home from the store, I runed toward our center to warn my friends there. When I reached the gates the police was about to surround me and and woman on her way to lunch. I grabbed the scared woman and offered here safety behind our steel gates, she greatly accepted my offer.

When the activist where aware of the police they started to reinforce their headquarters and refusing the police entrance. There was over 200 policemen at the scene and all without markings and they where all armed with AK-47, they blocked the entire neighborhood and all roads leading in to the headquarters. A closer look at the policemen showed that some of them belonged to the former elit riot police Berkut. This is not a good sign, since many of the former Berkut are under suspicion of crimes against demonstrators of Maidan.
Our center and our partners called out for help from other nationalist of Kiev and all who could help us in this time of need, a couple of hundreds showed up for support and gave us the necessary time to start negation with the police with the help from two deputies of nationalistic party Svoboda. During all of this our partner at the center, Sich (C14), held two spontaneous speeches from one of the balconies facing the supporters.
After the speeches and negotiations, activists started to move all the documents containing evidence of government corruption, police crimes and gangsters within the high society of Ukraine, from ”Never Again” areas at the center, this was one of the demands the police didn’t agree on at first, but police had no choice but to agree, otherwise we would continue to occupy the building no matter the cost.
When all the documents where transported into safety, we continued to move the equipment of Sich (C14) and the ”De frivilliga”, soon all our equipment where moved and we started to plan our exit from the headquarters. It went smoothly even if police wanted to arrest us all and question us about what we where doing at the center. No activists where hurt during the siege but we suspect that the criminal Avakovs big ego was hurt quite a lot.
I would like to ask the criminal Avakov; Why do you attack us but NOT Russian separatists in Luhansk? Does it mean our work is a bigger threat?

Shortly after the activist left the headquarters, FSB (Russian security service) and members of the communist party entered the building, during that time a fire started, this action is being blamed on nationalists, but we within the ”De frivilliga” believe that communist together with FSB did it as a part of their propaganda plan. The communists never wanted their headquarters back, but they wanted nationalists dead and they wanted to destroy national politics in Ukraine by not voting. First the communist made a promise not to vote until they got their former headquarters back, when they got the headquarters back to put it on fire and found another reason not to vote, now they will not vote until the police arrest the nationalist who burned their headquarters down. Problem is, no nationalist burned it down, so the communist can continue to destroy Ukrainian national politics for as long as they want.
Our work with the center ”De frivilliga” will continue as normal with one exception we don’t have an center at the moment, but we will have a new one as soon as possible. If you want to help us, we would be more then grateful, so please don’t hesitate to contact us at the contact link. Any help you can give will help a lot.
This post will be further updated with pictures and videos when our internet connection gets better.
Our partners at the center, part 1
We will now give a presentation of the partners we have here at the center.
C14 (Sich)
C14 or Sich means military center, and if you break down the C14 into words it spells Sich, and we will explain how. C is S in Ukrainian, 1 can be read like i and 4 like ch, forming the word Sich.
C14 is a nationalistic organisation. C14 as an organisation was founded in 2010 and have been growing in numbers ever since. The leader of C14 is Eugen Karas also known as “Vortex”.
Ever since the start of C14 they have fought for a better society in a corrupted Ukraine, where anyone and anything could be bought for money. That struggle for a better and free Ukraine, led C14 into fighting corrupted land lords, who destroyed families and the old Ukrainian architecture in their hunt for quick and dirty money. C14 also fought against corrupted construction companies who illegally was trying to build houses in parks and other protected areas in Ukraine but Kyiv in particular.
During the struggles of Maidan, C14 took a big role in the fighting and formed the 2nd Sotnya of Svyatoslav the Brave. A Sotnya can be described as a fighting group and it can contain up to a 100 men before it transform into another Sotnya. Many of the members of C14 was hurt and they lost friends to the murders of Berkut. The berkut was the Ukrainian special riot police, they where disbanded after the revolution, due to their extreme violence and crimes to the demonstrators of Maidan.
C14 have their headquarters located in communist party former headquarters, who where abandoned during the violent revolution in Kyiv. As of now communist party of Ukraine is fighting C14 to get its former headquarters back after months of occupation, the means the communist are using is not voting in the Rada (Ukrainian parlament), threatening C14 with violence and finally to strike a deal with Avakov (Minister of Internal affairs) and with some of the parlamentmembers of EU-parlament. So far all the efforts of the communist party have failed and C14 stands strong in their new headquarters.
Other then fighting corruption and criminal berkuts in Maidan, C14 is now in the process of formning a private security company.
